Prompts! Woo!
Another emergency- and rather belated- substitute daemonmuses prompt set!
Quotes:
"We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?"
-Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury
"If during a decade a man does not change his mind on some things and develop new points of view, it is a pretty good sign that his mind is petrified and need no longer be accounted among the living."
-J. Frank Dobie
"There is only one time that is important - NOW! It is the most important time because it is the only time that we have any power."
-Leo Tolstoy
"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."
-Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
"I know. You did many good things. But if we consider whether you will stay as you are now, we must consider what you are now, and what you wish to be. We must see clearly. We must have done with daydreams, and see whether this sapling-" he touched her arm, "-be oak, holly, ash or cherry. We can grow no cherries on an oak, nor acorns on a holly. And however your life goes, Paksenarrion, it cannot return to past times: you will never be just as you were. What has hurt you will leave scars. But as a tree that is hacked and torn, if it lives, will be the same tree- will be an oak if an oak it was before- so you are still Paksenarrion. All your past is within you, good and bad alike."
-Oath of Gold, Elizabeth Moon
Write About:
Your first encounter with death
Winning a contest
The first time you felt like an adult (whether or not you actually were/are)
An encounter with an unfamiliar animal
Getting away with something
A book that was of some kind of importance to you
You/your daemon's reaction to a piece of art
About You:
Do you have any dietary restrictions? Are they voluntary, or medical? Does your daemon share in any of them, or think well/poorly of any of them?
Are there any areas of philosophy or ethics on which you and your daemon disagree?
What bores you?
Do you know someone whose daemon strikes you as surprising? Why?
